By the year 3000, the human species will be more diverse than ever - as outlined above. Perhaps there will be a class of genetically
enhanced super-scientists with very big brains and intelligence far superior to their contemporaries. Most likely there will be "sports-people",
whose bodies have been adapted to a particular discipline - either by training or by genetic engineering or by both. Runners might
have very light upper bodies and arms, with much longer and musculous legs - similar to Kangoroos. Basketball players might measure 2.5m on average
(after the basket was adjusted in hight around 2500). Musicians might all have pitch-perfect hearing and singers might have exceptional vocal
cords. Sex workers might have grotesquely enlarged breasts, penises, vaginas and bottoms. Some people might have body modifications that do not resemble
anything we have seen today. People might have the green skin of frogs or the white coloring of albinos; some might have bodies augmented
by robotic devices or artificial sensors that give them perception far beyond what we know today. We will probably see people with extremely
fast and precise motor skills - similar, but far superior to what we see today in highly accomplished computer gamers.
You might imagine the population of the year 3000 as some kind of "freak show" with numerous, highly adapted subgroups with particular
intellectual, emotional, or physical characteristics - living in their own sub-cultures.

Traditional Family (2017)

Among the multitude of lifestyles and subcultures in the year 3000 there might also be groups of "traditional people". In fact, I am convinced
that in the crazy world of multiple genders, body-modified artists, athletes and sex workers, super-smart scientists, psycho-pharmacological induced
dreamers and psychos and among the people addicted to gambling, sex or some other thrills a significant number of people will try to live as
their ancestors have lived hundreds of years before. These people might settle in remote rural areas - quite similar to the Amish of Pennsylvania
or Canada today. They might look like us and live in "traditional marriages and families". Adult men and women might have "natural sex"
without mechanical, visual or biochemical enhancements and without robotic support. They might even have their own biological
children and females might actually give birth to their babies - a practice, most other contemporaries will consider barbaric. These "traditional
people" will still work for their own sustainance: they might not use construction robots to build their houses but work with their own hands
or only basic machinery. They will cook their own meals and perhaps even grow food plants and raise lifestock.

Traditional Family (2500)

Even in the year 3000 there will be groups of people living a "traditional life". Adults will identify themselves as "men" or "women"; and their
bodies will reflect this basic biological distinction. They will appreciate gender-specific differences in talent and behavior.
They will have families and raise children. And they will still work for a living - actually enjoying the challenge.

The "traditional people" of the year 3000 will be considered "backward" and "primitive" by their contemporaries. They will be discriminated or even
persecuted by the mainstream lifestyles and dominating rulers. Therefore they might retreat to remote areas, where they can live their lives
in relative peace. Some of these traditional people might have strong religious or philosophical believes; but others might be secular and science
oriented. Perhaps these traditional people will develop special talents (such as the Mohawks who have left their reservations in Canada
for many Generations to work as construction workers on the high-rise buildings of Manhattan). The "traditional people" of the 3rd millenium might
be particularly clever to teach highly gifted children or train robots humanoid behavior. They might still have social skills that most of
their contemporaries will have lost. Perhaps they will develop and train the numerous "service and convenience robots" that their contemporaries
are using in their daily lives. The "primitive" social relations of these "traditional people" might help them to create service robots which are
less neurotic and less hysterical than those created by the "normal" people of the year 3000.

Traditional Children (2017)

Such a traditional sub-culture might flourish in a civilization of hedonists, consumers and addicts (World 3). This civilization would be
dominated by ideosyncratic population groups that have "specialized" to such extremes that outsiders might be offended or disgusted with their particular
appearance, behavior or worldviews. In our time, many people are disgusted with drug addicts or compulsive gamblers or dislike "shopping queens"
or "party people". By the year 3000, all idosyncratic groups will have developed to such extremes, that more traditional people will put off and
disgusted with such a live. These "outsiders" might eventually try to find a satisfying alternative in "traditional" forms of relationship, work
and living environment.
In a civilization of warriors, tribes and despotes (World 2) traditional people might become particularly fierce warriors - similar to the Taliban or
the Islamic State terrorists of today. They might follow very ancient traditions of social and family life.
Traditional subgroups might also exist in a civilization of scientists, artists and philosophers. In fact, this could be the most benign environment
for such people. They might be highly respected "teachers" and "educators" and run "conservative" schools and universities - quite similar to monastic
and religious schools and universities in the 19th and 20th century.
